How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut, shadowy portrait of the French Resistance where heroism is unglamorous and every moment is shadowed by the threat of capture or betrayal. Melville's meticulous direction turns espionage into a study of worn-down determination and moral compromise.
